Bubble Watch - March 11

[jncuse]

Whats the biggest game of the day for our hopes?

1, Michigan losing to Indiana (fail)
2. Texas AM beating Florida (pass)
3. St. Joes knocking out GW
4. Cincy knocking UConn

Not an individual game, but #1 worthy - One of Tulsa, St. Bonnie, or VCU losing to a non tourney underdog. to make up the Michigan game.

 

[We Are Syracuse]

Cincy-Uconn

Want Cincy to win right? I think A&M beating Florida is a must as well. Which they just did!

 

[We Are Syracuse]

Florida is officially out.

Whats the biggest game of the day for our hopes?

Every game is big. Florida about to lose is big. Uconn losing keeps us ahead of them, Bonnies losing would help even though we beat them, Ohio State losing. VCU losing. So many games, so much importance

 

[Briancuse]

Thankfully A&M holds on.

 

[CorduroyG]

definitely want sparty to beat ohio state

Correct

I'm not sure about GW and St Joes. I think they are both on the bubble. GW probably needs more than just one win, where I think St Joes would probably be in with this win. If GW wins this game but loses the next, they both may be out.

36-27 Cincy at the half

The plot thickens! Love all the insight.

 

[CorduroyG]

the michigan win was such a gut punch that i think every game the rest of today will go our way, thats the only way to make up for that indiana choke job

that's going to be a really interesting case study for the committee if St.Joes loses today - really the whole A10 is going to be a tangled mess for them to deal with

Either way I don't think the result of the GW/St Joes makes or breaks us. I think we want Cinn to win that tourney, most importantly.

Smart thinking Tom -- I am going for the conservative hedge, and you are going for the home run. And we need the home run.

Cincy-Uconn

I think there's a good chance both teams are in regardless of today's outcome. They both have very good numbers.

maybe but the committee has historically hated the aac

3. St. Joes knocking out GW

Disagree. GW needs to win the entire A10 Tourney to dance and a loss for Saint Joe's would likely knock them out. I can't imagine they're a lock right now.

St.Joes more of a lock than any other a10 team not named Dayton

I am basing my thoughts on the matrix to a degree on this one. I don't think St. Joes can fall out, and I think GW can't get in without this win.

The only other alternative I like is Tom's potential double knockout theory, but today's game is followed by GW loss. I'm not sure if GW winning is what we want.

That being said the A-10 is a bit of a mess as well. so maybe in retrospect you will have right answer.

 

[Newhouser]

I'm sure this has been asked and is obviously a looooooooong shot but UCONN, A&M, ND and Bonnie win their respective tourneys...that has to help us.

Crazy day --

 

[bpo57]

SJU down 15 early in 2H now up six with 3 to play.

That's what I'm thinking. For the latter three anyway. I'm still torn about uconn.

 

[orangenirvana]

Welp, at least GW is out of it.

 

[jncuse]

Can Cincy finally finish off Storrs. End this crap.
